It's the game that Nintendo-loving strategy fans have been waiting for. Fire Emblem for the GameCube will be released in Japan on April 20, but Nintendo knows that no one can wait that long. Thankfully, they've released a new video showing off some of the goods.
The game is still scheduled here in the States to show up around E3 time, but we'll probably need to wait until then to find out when exactly this one will be released.

I agree with couchmonkey. Why didn't we get this years ago? This, RE4, and the new Zelda could have changed the Cube's placement in the console wars if they were released towards the beginning of the console's life. It's like Nintendo released all their experimental titles that required an open mind to like (Luigi's Mansion as the flagship title, Super Mario Sunshine, cel-shaded Zelda) early on and now, when the Cube's last place position is set in stone, all the cool mature games are being released. You're supposed to release the mainstream friendly titles FIRST and the niche wacko titles later.
IS is Nintendo's ultimate developer. They never seen to release a bad game and unlike EAD they're cool. They make Metroid, Advance Wars, and Fire Emblem. All of those have Nintendo quality gameplay and non-realistic visuals but have a style, that although family friendly, doesn't come across as childish. Even Paper Mario looks more surreal and arty while EAD's Mario looks like he walked off the set of Sesame Street. IS should be Nintendo's main focus instead of EAD. IS has found that balance where they can make great games that are also cool while not compromising creativity or artistic design.

DEAR GOD THIS GAME IS SO DAMN HOT I CANT EVEN PUT IT TO WORDS OH MAN I'M GOING TO CRAP MY PANTS AT E3!!
There. Seriously, I dont care if it's a niche game, I love Fire Emblem just as much as Zelda, if not more. The artwork in this game is immaculate. I'll be buying this the second it comes out.

Right?
I mean, the graphics have improved quite a lot since first shown, but not by THAT much.
Bloodworth: From what I gather from all the screenshots I've seen, it appears that some characters can turn into animals. One guy turns into a wolf. Neat.

The cut scenes are when it shows the characters talking to each other, as for an example of showing tiamat ( the red haired female Social Knight) is talking to the group in the town and then they start to run off :/

More cats. Anyone else see the person that turns into a cat?
The yellow cat was known for a while along with the other blue cat, the cats come from a race that seeming to be located on the western side of the map that was shown around a couple of weeks back.

I'm definitely talking about in-game goodness...The animation is now fluid and the visuals at a point where I just don't care anymore...

Yeah, I noticed the cats. Nintendo has a sudden fondness for them, it seems. I'm sure we'll be seeing HALcats or something soon.
